Fat hands with short fingers describes me.
I’ve found 1911s with the short trigger and S&W K frames with stocks that expose the backstrap to be the fit best for me.

BHP usually works for people w/ your kind of trait. Sorry no .45 acp though, just .40 cal and 9mm.

Big palms and short fingers here. (Which is why I play bass instead of guitar).

1911 pattern with short trigger works great for me.

I also like S&W revolvers with smooth target grips. (hint I need a couple of sets for some N-frames)

My girlfriend is all of 5 foot, with size XS hands (bench presses 100 pounds, too!) - she loves her G36, and her Kimber ProCarry HD II.

My SIG P225 fits my small sausage finger hand quite well.

With the normal 1911's, and even with slim grips, I still have to shift my grip to hit the mag release...

Colt Government Model. BHP. GP100. No Smith revolver except for a 2" 19/66 with Pachmayr grips. The Vaquero fits(so would a Colt SAA, but that big money) as does the Super Redhawk. Any double action autoloader is a joke in my hand.

A good .45 ACP semiauto to fit this set of requirements would be the S&W 457. An excellent carry gun.

' forgot to mention..

Star Firestar makes a nice .45 ACP 'bout the size of a Colt officer's model. I them At shows for less than $500.

Star PD, a compact alloy frame .45 acp 1911 look-alike.
They are available used, parts are expensive if available, but the gun is usually available cheap.
If you get a good one, and it isn't your only gun, it will last a long time.
Good examples are still available for less than $300, and they have been out of production for a while, but I can tell you first hand they are sweet shooters.
Think of it this way....
How much would you pay for a compact alloy frame 1911?

A 1911 or Sig with a short trigger work well for me.

 

[George Hill]

Sounds like a Springfield XD to me.
They make .357SIG versions.

Look for a large trigger guard and a gun designed to be used in cold weather.

I know its not as awesome as a .45 rolleyes: ), but you might like Beretta's Vertec with the straight-backed grip. You can get it in 40S&W, also.
